Conclusions. 330 $aContrary to existing economic analyses of the Weimar Republic, this book looks beyond the explanations of the individual events that characterized it - in particular hyperinflation, Brüning's fiscal policy, and the 1931 crisis. Instead, it adopts a more unified approach, and thereby sheds light on the underlying causes of these events. The book argues that these individual events were the final result of economic processes and policy choices which had made it possible to mitigate the social and political conflict that would otherwise have undermined the Republic?s existence. Specifically, it postulates that hyperinflation was the result of the "persistent" inflation, which had permitted Germany to maintain low unemployment, meet unions' wage demands, and contain left-wing radicalism. Similarly, the banking and currency crisis of 1931 was caused by a sudden stop related to the high level of foreign debt incurred by Germany after the Dawes Plan. Debt which had, however, enabled the country to finance the persistent external deficits resulting from its high domestic demand and large public expenditure incurred in an attempt to avoid social conflict. The book reviews the various models and approaches proposed highlighting their relative strengths and weakness and concludes by providing a unifying common thread which explains how the dramatic economic events which characterized the Weimar Republic were the result of the very economic processes which had contributed to its temporary survival. This book will appeal to students, scholars, economic researchers in general, and more specifically to those interested in economic history, monetary and financial economics, economic policy, political decision making, and political economy, in particular, those seeking a better understanding of the Weimar Republic's economic history. 410 0$aFrontiers in economic history. 606 $aInflation (Finance)$zGermany$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aInvestments, Foreign$zGermany$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aEconomic History 606 $aMacroeconomics and Monetary Economics 606 $aFinancial Economics 606 $aEconomy-wide Country Studies 606 $aEconomic Policy 606 $aPublic Choice and Political Economy 607 $aGermany$xEconomic conditions$y1918-1945 607 $aGermany$xEconomic policy$y1918-1933 615 0$aInflation (Finance)$xHistory 615 0$aInvestments, Foreign$xHistory 615 14$aEconomic History. 615 24$aMacroeconomics and Monetary Economics. 615 24$aFinancial Economics. 615 24$aEconomy-wide Country Studies. 615 24$aEconomic Policy. 615 24$aPublic Choice and Political Economy. 676 $a940 700 $aPittaluga$b Giovanni Battista$4aut$0115653 701 $aSeghezza$b Elena$01779181 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUkOxU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910917198803321 996 $aAn Economic Historiography of Germany, 1918-1931$94451753 997 $aUNINA
